About me
Counsellor, Nature-Based Therapist & Intuitive Life Coach
In this tumultuous world many are feeling incredibly lost, confused and anxious. My intention is to help people regain a sense of inner wellbeing, find peace of mind and access a deeper feeling of stability to navigate life.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and speak your truth. Sometimes it can be tricky talking to family and friends as they are usually emotionally involved.
People come to me with an array of circumstances and difficulties and usually are experiencing extreme emotions and overpowering thoughts. I often see clients who suffer from anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. They generally feel out of alignment with who they are and are overwhelmed.
I bring a wealth of life experience as well as extensive training and share varying cultural, predominantly Indigenous, perspectives relating to health, if appropriate.
I help you to explore what you are going through and guide you to re-discover your authentic self and what brings you joy. We also may look at old unhelpful beliefs and thought patterns and come up with fresh ideas and a different perspective so that you can experience a sense of relief and regain empowerment in your everyday life.
The sessions are tailored to meet your requirements using approaches from many therapeutic philosophies: person-centred heart-led talking therapy (whereby solutions naturally arise), creative arts & CBT activities, nature-based walk and talk therapy and mindfulness relaxation techniques. Spiritual/Intuitive life coaching may be combined if suitable for you. I am also a gong sound bath practitioner.
In person, online and phone consultations are offered as well as walk & talk therapy outdoors.
The goal of our initial meeting is to establish a rapport, identify your needs and make working together enjoyable.
I offer a short introductory phone call to see if I am a good fit for you and whether we can work together. Please get in touch to organise this initial discussion.
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy has me as a registered, active member. I am properly insured and operate in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
